It's got to be HEAVY! This one sticks in your gut. Great drum beat, great heavy guitar sound, catchy little riff and lets the chords ring, the vocals are sung in an understated mood - not screamed, great bridge before the solo, the solo is manic and it's all under 3 minutes. Years ago producers would insist that all songs be under 3 minutes.

This song is why god gave me ears. If I could only take 10 songs with me to a deserted island, this would be HIGH on that list.

I just cannot stop listening yo this song; It is so addicting. There are multiple stages of the song with each being equally brilliant.

The world I know is totally the best and Number one song of Collective Soul for me.. I agree that Shine was the Breakthrough and all, but speaking of class and quality, according to how talented Ed is, this has been his first best written, composed, performed throughout this whole time... Almost every song is great Great! But this one, just beats all O them...

Absolutely Ed's best work of art! Soothing vocals and great message of the circle of life! Viewing the video is a MUST! AWESOME!

Deserves its place as it is such a catchy and different track. Quite brilliant.

The Contenders

11Better Now

This song is extremely energetic and GREAT live! I've seen these guys TWICE and Ed Puts Extreme effort into it. And I'd have to say the guitar solo at the end (live) was pretty crazy

My favourite CS song of all!

12Compliment

13Georgia Girl

Listen to it, then listen again and again. You will agree its one of their best

Can never turn it off

14Listen

Wrong "Listen" song you speak of Beyonce singing.

Beyonce is one of the best singer ever... She sang this song with a lot of emotions. THIS SONG IS MADE FOR EVERY UPCOMING SINGER.. DOESN'T MATTER MALE OR FEMALE... EVERY UPCOMING ARTIST SHOULD SING IT ONCE IN LIFE

15Precious Declaration

Number 16! Are you f...ing kidding me!

Wow. I am sad this is so low. This is such an inspiring song, but then again the band does have many great songs.

I was shocked to come on this page and not even see this song on the list. Come on people this song is incredible

Really good song should be at least #11

Groovy beat

18Boast

19Tremble for My Beloved

This makes me wanna jump out of my seat and start jerking my body to the beats

20Vent

21Counting the Days

Rock Something Else. You can call it Roll if you want, but there is definitely some real Rock in here.

22Hollywood

Needs to be higher, all ages groups like this one

, I actually would rate this my #1.

23Burn

24Needs

I can't believe Needs is not on the list! Definitely, in the top 5

This is in my top 5 favourite CS songs as well!

25Forgiveness

Amazon song

Why (Pt. 3) is this rated so low? Probably one of the better written songs by them and an all around good feel and great music. Love the bridges. This puts the "soul" in collective soul. It used to be all I'd want to learn, was what good music was. Now all I really want to learn is forgiveness for y'all who didn't vote for this song. 😂

26Welcome All Again

Starts slow but ROCKS the house down

27Bleed

Why is this so low?

28All

This song deserves a higher spot... One of the best love songs around.. If you ever fall in love.. Listen this.. You wont be disappointed... Great Vocals, great Guitars.. Great lyrics... Great simplicity...

So many great songs but this one gets me all the time

29She Said

A great song with very beautiful yet sad lyrics.

Love this CS song. Very poingent lyrics.

30Staring Down

31Breaking Witness

It's called Bearing Witness (not breaking) but it's a great song

A great song! With a great lyrics! Why isn't it even in the list! Vote this up guys! That song got me hooked!

The song is called Bearing Witness and it is terrific

32Blame

Great song

33This

If you aren’t at the very least tapping your foot, check for a pulse. Absolutely love!

34Youth

One of the early ones that never got much respect in my opinion. It is a contender I think.
